Quick! Tell me exactly what is considered obscene by Florida law so I can filter it!
Oh wait, you can't, because the law is basically "whatever we can get 12 prudes to claim they're offended by after you've done it", just like every other obscenity law ever.
then it's perfectly safe for me to store data that's only worth $999 to the attacker under protection vulnerable to that attack.
I solved it by hanging a sign on my valuable data saying "This data is only worth $999". After all, it's not like an attacker knows whether it's my bank account information or my shopping list until after they've broken the security.
vim can do that with visual block mode (^V), though it doesn't quite work the same way (you can't create a zero-width column, but you can Insert text at the left edge of all rows of a block
If I'm going to use an IDE for web development, I only have one question: Can it work over ssh? My test server is sitting in a rack somewhere else, never mind the production server.
But they are not really useful for working with multiple monitors.
They are when you want one monitor to have 9 virtual desktops, and a second monitor to be running 9 completely different virtual desktops, and about the only way you're going to get anything to do that is going to be running a separate X server on each monitor.
Merge this with Synergy+'s recommendation below, and you can do all that with one keyboard and mouse.
As a customer, the worst part is when the merchant doesn't bother to tell you "oh hey we're going to redirect you to this other site now" and first anti-XSS blocks the page transfer, then the page fails to work anyway thanks to noscript blocking the JS.
Even after I added all the appropriate whitelists, when I buy from a site that uses it, all it does is flash the logo up on the screen then take me back to the merchant's site where I finish the transaction.
How much of a temperature difference do you think you can find within the human body across a machine of a few micormeters (or even millimeters) in length?
That's what the 12" heat sink sticking out of your chest is for. That, and impressing the ladies.
Yet that's exactly why this is dangerous: if the company even bothers to put a "Paid for by ShellCorpX" message on their advertisement, by the time you've peeled back all the shell corporations to figure out "oh this was paid for by Exxon", the election will be long over.
it lists a bunch of things that the government it authorizes is not supposed to do.
Actually, it was originally an exhaustive list of the things the government can do, but since neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are happy with the idea of a small, weak federal government, they have both been doing their best to convince everyone the opposite.
The constitution, as amended, lists exactly three ways the government can take your stuff: they can tax it from you, they can use a warrant (or a "reasonable" criminal excuse) or they can pay you for it. The invention of new technologies neither changes the Constitution nor grants the government new powers.
If it had discovered a plot to blow up some major building and those involved were arrested the FBI would probably have been hailed as heroes and given medals.
And making up fake terrorism threats would have discovered one?
That's terribly worrying because, together with the first stance, this reads as we get to choose what to do with our traffic and no one should ever bother us about it.
I saw that too, and went back and re-read it as:
The 'Net should operate as a place where we can make rules that prescribe the possible, and where entrepreneurs "innovate with our permission."
But it is fair in the sense that you can go to their website and find out under what conditions it happens (specifically, not an undefined "excessive usage"). I'm even going to go so far as to say that if your connection is running slow, you'd be able to call in to support and they'd even tell you that you went X megabytes over quota and you'll have to wait Y hours for it to balance out.
Compare that to just about every single ISP in the US that does "something" if you use "too much" bandwidth, and when you call to complain about performance their support either doesn't know or is instructed to lie about their throttling and/or forged RST packets, and blames the site you're trying to visit.
My newspaper started using the underemployment and discouraged workers numbers when talking about the economy, obviously not to keep Obama in a good light. And of course the liberals are pretty pissed off that we're still at war, a year later. The economy still sucks, and just about every editorial in my paper is telling Obama that he can't keep blaming Bush for it.
Or is the mainstream media suddenly "conservative" whenever it makes your argument better?
Heh, it IS a terrible analogy in many ways. For instance, every Scout should know how to build a solar still in an emergency.
However, the terrible design as described would eventually quit working, either the plate would heat up to ambient temperature or the water would cover it.
A number of fish and birds are known to use either the earth's magnetic field or their own generated electric field for orientation/navigation, the ability to do so is scientifically understood and not "paranormal" by any means. I personally suspect that this guy is either a liar or just crazy, but if he's not, there are scientific explanations for it: perhaps he has a mutation that caused him to develop an organ sensitive to EM (highly unlikely). Or maybe a medical implant of a certain length (around 2.5", I believe), say, a metal plate screwed to a leg bone that is picking up the radiation and producing heat (likely), or a current strong enough to make the surrounding muscle twitch (less likely).
they made some aweful mistakes that only a programmer would do.
But saying what they are would allow the programmers to fix them (or at least other programmers who care about usability to learn from them), and then who would hire the usability testers?
Per Randi's FAQ, they use Webster's definition as "not scientifically explainable; supernatural."
Speaking to the dead, predicting the future, levitating or bending other objects without contact and so on are not scientifically explainable, even if someone were to do it.
Detection of electromagnetic radiation by living things is scientifically explainable, it's just not done by the vast majority of humans.
WiFi sensitivity should easily count for paranormal
I suspect that Randi would call it "abnormal" rather than "paranormal", after all, WiFi scientifically exists, and there are various mechanisms for detecting electromagnetic fields throughout nature.
Slashdot Mirror
It sounds like a viable business plan to me.

Obscenity laws are pure bullshit.

Yes. When it starts getting low, it moans MAAAAIIINNNNSSSS
Button: "Import Facebook Contacts."
Fine print: "Pressing this button spams all of your contacts with join invitations every 30 seconds until they cave in and join the Google hive"

I'm sure they put plenty of faith in God. A bunch of schoolkids? Not so much.
column-mode editing
OK, I didn't know what that was called, but it's pretty damn awesome.

In the second, they switched an insulation design
The insulation that fell off and hit the wing was still the old insulation.

I want a wristwatch phone!
Done!
Now, where's my Dick Tracy wristwatch videophone!

none of those involved with making or receiving the phone calls were inconvenienced
I'm inconvenienced when my tax money goes to bullshit like this, especially when the FBI was already having trouble paying for the wiretaps they actually needed.
If it had discovered a plot to blow up some major building and those involved were arrested the FBI would probably have been hailed as heroes and given medals.

I just wish the likes of Nobuo Uematsu, Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori, James Horner and the like would release the scores
Sheet music exists (at least for piano), you just have to find it before it goes out of print.
(note: I use cdjapan a lot and they're fairly decent, but I've never ordered from vgmworld, so I don't know how good of a store they are)
